Afternoon all, I'm just working on the design of a large commercial property and they have requested external lighting, Which I have split into 3 areas, Back of house (deliveries, storage etc) Customer car park and staff car park area. I've got the lighting sorted to the requested levels which Is effectively my job over due to the nature of this job ,But I'm now wondering how It all gets distributed as I have very little knowledge of street lighting and the such.
My assumption is that from the main switchboard within the installation a feed gets taken to the external feeder pillar, in the pillar is a small 3ph DB for a few bits of external power, and then the DB/timeclock/controls for the lighting, set up just like a standard DB, Which would feed out to the lighting columns, Which would have a cut out within each column.
Am I on the right track or way off? It's not something I've had a lot of experience with.
Thanks in advance.
Jim
